MANGUPURA, balitourismnow.com – This New Year’s Eve, Hotel Tugu Bali invites guests to enjoy a night filled with the wild and glamorous spirit of an era when Bali was a hidden sanctuary for rock legends and free-spirited adventurers.
As the island prepares to welcome 2026, Hotel Tugu Bali relives the spirit of 1980s Bali—a time when world-renowned musicians secretly came to the island in search of the mystery and hypnotic charm of a still-untouched Bali.
This year’s celebration transforms Hotel Tugu Bali’s art-filled sanctuary into a Rocker Paradise, where vintage luxury, island mystique, and the timeless spirit of Tugu culture combine in one unforgettable night.
This is an invitation to relive the island’s most iconic memories while welcoming the new year with the free-spirited spirit that once captivated rock legends.
A Night Where the Energy of ’80s Rock Meets the Timeless Romance of the Island
The evening served as a delightful tribute to Bali’s untold rock stories—nights when leather-clad legends, barefoot wanderers, and rebellious artists hid in the island’s hidden corners, exchanging stories under flickering candlelight and moonlit skies.
At Tugu, that long-lost magic is rekindled, entwined in an experience where the bold energy of rock meets the sacred beauty of Balinese tradition, celebrating the island’s heritage and history as a creative sanctuary.
Guests were welcomed with a sumptuous Royal Megibung banquet—once reserved for Balinese kings and imbued with the spirit of community.
The table came alive with flavors like vibrant Rujak Pesisir, banana stem soup with chicken and red beans, and a variety of fish and pork satays, followed by signature dishes like crispy pork belly and whole roasted chicken with pickled shallots.
Between courses, traditional Balinese dances were performed, their graceful movements adding a touch of island mystique to the evening.
As the night progressed, the atmosphere changed—disco lights shimmered, guitars blared through the speakers, and Tugu’s signature warmth enveloped the celebration.
Guests entered the New Year with the same spirit that once attracted the world’s most iconic musicians to Bali: freedom, fearless creativity, and the intoxicating feeling that anything is possible.
Bring in the end of the year with the electric spirit of 1980s Bali—an era that captivated rock stars from around the world—for a night where culture, nostalgia, and luxury converged in an unforgettable island celebration. [any]
